THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY. EXTRACTS FROM mi.: MORNING PAPERS, JUNK 7, 1826. (TUX TIMES.] In a subsequent column will be found the copy of a Pretest from the United States' Consul, Mr. Forbes, at Blienos Ayres, delivered on the 14th of February to Admiral Lobo, counnandinr , the Brazilian blockading squadron off that port, against the manner witich the tight of blockade has, in this instance, been asserted and exercised by his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro. It 'appears that on a line of coast, ex tending to 20 degrees of latitude—or almost 1,300 'British miles—there has been stationed but one single 'sloop of war, called the Maria (la Gloria. This an swers pretty accurately, it must be confessed, to the common understanding of a " paper blockade," — a thing condemned as utterly fradulent by all men who have written or reasoned on the subject ; and fairly abandoned many years ago by the Government which had first invented it. rl'he United States object to a paper blockade in a degree exceeding, if we do not mis take, any Measure of condemnation which hadbeen ap plied to it by the Courts of Europe, during our war with Buonaparte. They announce, that if a blockade shall be declared against a whole coast, and maintained by a squadron manifestly inadequate to enforce the measure along the entire coast, such a blockade ought to he deemed illegal, even with regard to those har bours in which it is effectually executed ; and we are disposed to agree in such' a construction of the law of nations, as justifiable by humanity and common souse; inasmuch as a belligerent power has no xightik re duce the commerce of neutral states to such a condition of ruinous uncertainty as must follow from the esta blishment of a system of blockade which might be ren dered either rigorous or futile on different parts of the coast declared to be blockaded, according to the mo mentary caprice or determination of the officer in com mand of the force so employed. One remark we are compelled to make upon this subject—and it is humi liating to the Government of Great Britain. It is ac knowledged that British commerce has suffered be-. yond. that of most other nations from this blockade of a friendly port, with which our merchants had hitherto carried on an intercourse of the highest importance.— Vet the only protest which we have heard of i s th a t of the American Consul, whose single ground of in terference is the injury occurring to the commerce of the United States from this same offensive measure.... Why, then, we ask, should the American Consul be active, while the Consul of Great Britain is indifferent or supine ? Is it because there are but a set of homely merchants on one side, and a magnificent gilt ginger bread Emperor on the other ? Mr. Huskisson, we should think, might have been more alert in his g uardianship of our mercantile int eres t s . Th e Right Hon. Gentleman ought to bear in mind, that if his friends boast of his having rescued commerce from its restraintsp there are others who accuse him of taking away its protections. The Homan Catholics of England have published an Address to their Protestant Countrymen, which will be found in this day's journal. This publication is extremely well timed, when the support, of their claims may be likely to prove prejudicial to the : hopes of many candidates for a seat in Parliament. The address also, though ardently, is discreetly written, and most respectably signed ; nod we recommend it to general attention. " Every principle or practice," nay the authors of the Address, " hostile m the re motesvdegree to the institutions of the country, we most explicitly disclaim. Year after year we repeat the humiliating task of disavowal ; still we suffer the penalties of guilt : we ask you, is this to endure for ever ?" An - affecting inquiry! We do hope, in deed, that-those who make it will in time follow their inure numerous brethren, and swell the ranks of a purer faith, in which case political distinctions cease of course : and if the retention of the disqualifying laws against Catholics would accelerate the arrival Of that desirable' event, we should not plead their repeal but pereeentiarr is no very promising way of making converts, It 1138 befOre occurred to us to ask the question ..Why cannot the Popedom be abolish e d, and then there would b e no " foreign Power or Po tentate" to dread, or to affect to dread. We would not have the present man touched, whatever we may think alibi- character; but let it be determined that he shall hart no' suCcessor. We are sure that if we had negociated one-twentieth part as much for this purpose as we haVe negociated for the abolition of the slave-trade, commencing also at the same:time, we shookl long ago have come to a happy condo- ratonNtNo ttertm.».3 The Lord Chief Jubtice of the Common, Pleas, who, when free from bodily pain, is one of the best tempered men in the world, permits himself now and then to speak somewhat more angrily of the press than upon reflection, perhaps, he himself seriously feels. We do not, however, quarrel with his Lordship on this account ; for i-. the first place, we d o no t believe he is so unfriendly to the press as his expressions would now and then lead us to imagine, or even if we were, we think the press has much less to fear from those who openly avow their hostility to it, than lion' those false friends who stab while, they arc cares sing it. We are far from eontending that the press ought not to be kept within proper bounds, or that it tau he worse employed than in obstructing the pur poNeB of justice ;still we think that the process of eontempt, alluded to by the Learned Judge, if at, tempted to be net in practice, would be found so un just and inquibitAgial in its nature, raid so little adapt ed to modem times, theft a higher authority would “ion he called upon t(, put an end to its operation. Blackstone, in enumerating the various kinds of con tempts over which Courts have summitry power, mentions the " printing of fidse accounts of causes ,th e m depending in judgment ." and '' speaking or writing eontempttiously of the Court or Judges acting in their judicial capacity ;" and though he states that a Court has power to issue an at laeluneut in such cases, yet he goes on also to i. „O how such 'attachment may he traversed, mid become a cause, in fact, to be tried upon af fidavits, which the Courts become atonee the ae euser4, the .Jury, amid the Judges. That every Court hhould possess a summary power Of protecting is when violated by parties in its pre own proceedings 'wirer., or by its own ?Ilic_ers any where, w e rea dil y admit—nor am we less whiled to allow that absent itable ; but M' eontempts are and ought to be pun we contend is, that these latter ou,s t ,„ ot, and ca 'T n ': not in their nature be the subject ot ,summary process, but must be left to be prose tinted either by the Gant pr Judge offended ; by the Attorney-General, h t the (parties, as separate offences. To contend, for in stance, that a printer may be , tlragged up from Lan? , caster or from York, and consigned, without trial or redress, to a long imprisonment, for merely giving publicity to sentiments which a Judge may consider amounts to a reflection upon him in his judicial capa city, is a doctrine which would savour more of the Star Chamber than of a modern tribunal.- In conclu sion, we would beg to assert our firm conviction, that there is no part of the press which possesses any, the least - inclination t o bring Courts of Justice, or any of their proceedings, into contempt. To say nothing of how much of . the finite and honour of the most emi nent lawyers have been derived from this channel, we believe that the Courts have no firmer or more useful auxiliary than the press, which makes known their upright judgments to the world, inculcating the re spect which ever flows from an exhibition of wisdom and justice united. At the same time the press, which nine times in ten is only another word for public opinion, forms the most useful restraint upon all ex cesses and abuses of power, whether in Courts of Justice or .elsewhere ; and though it may itself be guilty of excesses, it restrains ten thousand times more excesses in others, than, in its worst abuse, it ever has given rise to. [BRITISH PRINS.] While our contemporaries are endeavouring to point out the course which it is proper for the people of England to porta on the approaching election, it may seem singular in us on such an occasion if we should abstain from stating what that confession of faith is by which alone we think it possible to effect our political salvation. The fact, however is, that we are not tied to particular forms either in politics or religion. We are bigots only in one instance. We maintain that no political man is to be trusted whose first wish is not to' benefit his country ; and though we are by no means disposed to say that all the me thods by sr hich that great object may be pursued are equally calculated to produce the effect so much to be desired, we are inclined to.be extremely tolerant in all cases of difference of opinion—confident that the col lision of sentiments will at last elicit the true system; and anxious that every side of the question should, be heard; in order that all objection to general measures may be fully foreseen and effectually guarded against. If the people of England determined to support no candidates hut those who advocate particular mea sures, the Legislature would be reduced to a virtual nonentity—our Representatives would have nothing to do but to give in silence those votes which they' pledged themselves to give from the outset. Discus , sion would then be as much a jest as, it is said to have been,_ in periods whe n th e vo t es o f M em b ers arc sup posed to have depended on very different motives from those which have swayed majorities on recent occa sions. The good sense 'of the electors will point out to them those men, whose willingness and ability are most likely to enable them effectually to serve their constituents ; and we are confident that such men may be found, with many shades of difference in their opi nions—agreeing in all essential particulars, and dis posed to yield in minuter points, when once con vinced of th e propriety of so doing. , MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. • ' LONDON IMARY, Fainay.

The CostmoN SERCIANT moved fora rule calling ou the de ; fondant to show cause why a criminal information should no be exhibited against him, for having said at a public vestry, at Win chains, that Mr. Powell, a magistrate residing in that place, had granted summonses against several persons fur the perpose of putting money into his own pockets. Mr. Powell, in his affida vit, stated positively that there were no grounds for the imputa tien.--Itule granted. JOHNSON N. DOWELL AND DAM At the last Bristol assizes, the plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Johnson, of Wine-street, Bristol, obtained a verdict against the defendants, who are hat-manufacturers in the same street, in an action for a nuisance, caused by the" effluvia and smuts arising from their manufactory, subject to a reference to John Francis Gunning, Esq., barrister at law, and that gentleman having awarded 7321. 158. to be paid to the plaintiff, and that the defendants should cease and forbear the process of water-proofing and stiffen ing hats, on theirpremises in Wine-street. The defendant list term obtained a rule to show cause why th• award should not be set aside. This day Mr. PARK and Mr. LUDLOW showed cause against the rule; which wits discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 6. FAWCETT V. EICIIARDSON*...POYAIS BOND& Mr. Sergeant WILDE bad in this ease obtained a rule, for the plaintiff to show cause why the defendant, Wm. John Richardson, should not be discharged out of custody, upon the ground of a fraudulent arrest, or rather detainer, upon his body. The arrest was upon an alleged debt of 6,5001., although the plaintiff, him self a resident for just cause at Melina-place, within the rules of the King's Bench prison, had the week before written a letter to the defendant, stating the reason why he had been previously un able to pay a debt of 3001. which he owed him, but hoping very soon to be in a condition to offer him a satisfactory arrangement for its liquidation. Mr. Sergeant Vationsw showed cause against this rule, and said, that the defendant Richardson had possessed himself of up wards of 6,0001. of the money of the plaintiff and his partners, upon a fraudulent representation of a Poyais loan, which money had been applied to pay the interest of part of this scheme, and' he wanted now to get released from custody, for the purpose of escaping from the plaintiff's claim, although means had conic into his hands whereby he might liquidate it, if the defendant were therefore discharged at present, the plaintiff's remedy would be entirely taken away. The learned Sergeant produced one of these Poyais Bonds, the form and imposing appearance of which caused much laughter in Court, although, according to the plaintiff's statement, he, or those connected with him, had advanced large sums upon the faith of such an instrument. It set out with re presenting 'that " We, Gregor," meaning Gregor Macgregor, " Cacique and Sovereign of the States, Ate. of Poyais, do," ob serving the form an technicality of official appointments, " no minate 'William John Richardson, Knight Commander of our Green Cross, Major of the Regiment of Horse Guards, to be his Highness's Charge d'Affaires in London, for the states and depend encies of Poyais, and do hereby certify that this is a special bond," &e. The instrument then designated the particular amount of the loan Which it professed to represent, and was Si signed and sealed with our seal of legution," bearing date on the 6th of Oct. 182:1 This bond constituted a part of the first loan for 200,0001. or 8000001. which was accompanied with a provision, that a second loan was not to be made, until certain arrangements were completed for the liquidation of the first; and yet, in defiance of this arrangement, the Cacique had negociated, Cr attempted to ne gociate, a fresh loan for 600,0001. without making any arrange... ment for the former. It was curious to remark, that though this instrumenepurported to bear date in October, 1823, and tahave the Cacique's real of legislation appended to it at that time, yet the paper upon which this impress was made, was not manufactured till the year 1824, as the water-mark demouetrated. Some explanation was offered for this awkward discrepancy, by a statement that the appointment of Viceroy conferred upon Mr. Richardson by " We, Gregor, the Cacique," had been recalled in consequence of some difficulty in the negotiation for the second loan; and that in issuing further SCrip upon the former loan, the date and form of the original bonds were, necessarily observed, although some of them were not negotiated till the following year. Mr. Sergeant WILDE contended that the rule ought to he made absolute, and the defendant discharged from custody, for nobody could believe that the plaintiff would, on the 12th of April, be writing to the defendant, entteating some arrangement, anti pro mising.taertain conditions, for the payment of 3001., on account of some over-due bills, for which he (the plaintiff) had become re sponsible to the defendant„and arresting the very same person at the end of the same mouth for a debt of no less a sum than 6,0001. without any statement of the occurrence of any intermediate trans action between the parties. The Court could not enter into the history of these Poyiis Bonds. Lord Chief Justice BEST said, that the great difficulty in the absence of all explanation as to facts, %yea, to.see into the justice of the case, contaminated as it was with the dealings in such bonds. The instructions of Counsel lint being at all sufficiently explicit so as to open the merits of the transactions between these parties, it ,was at length agreed upon on both sides, that the plaintiff should go to trial upon his claim, on the first day of the sittings after term, and that the liberation of the defendant should depend on the view taken of the result by the Lord Chief Justice.. lly this arrangement his detention until the November term would be 'avoidO, wore the plaintiff's claim in reality untenable. INSOLVENT DEuToRs• COURT, JUNE 6. VISITATION. Robert Tubb vame up on his petition to he dildarged, 'when the statement made by the insolvent appeared to be satisfactory to the Court; but as two creditors had not been served in due time, their consents were necessary, in order to his being discharged on the present occasion. While the insolvent was anxiously awaithig tho arrival of the consents, he was suddenly attacked with a paralytic affection, and fell from ltis seat. The untbrtunate man was immediately conveyed to the ante-room, and medical aid was speedily pro cured. Shortly after this occurrence, Mr. HEATH made an application to the Court, and stated what had happened to the insolvent. The Learned Gentleman said, that he would tall the surgeon, and if the Court should ho opinion that the unfortunate man was in a fit atate to sign and swear to his schedule, he hoped the Court would allow the discharge to issue forthwith. The Couto , immediately granted the application. Mr. Wm. Hughes, a surgeon, living in Newmau'e-row,Lin coin's-inn-fields, stated that he had been called in to attend the insolvent, whom he had found in a. very alarming state: he had taken a very considerable quantity of blood from the pa tient, and he was somewhat relieved; he had been d e p r i ve d of the u se o f hi s r i g ht side; but he appeared able to make a mark with his left hand. In the opinion of witness, his intellects were not so impaired as so prevent. him understanding* what . 14 was about. , .., . . Mr. Berry, th e i nso lvent's attorney, confirmed the latter part of the preceding testimony, . The insolvent having sivorn to Ms schedule, he WIN removed to his own residence in a coach, instead, of being sent to the King's Bench prison to await the discharge in jta usual contra:. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - . GIIILDIIALL— William Hart, the driver of the hackney couch' No. 324, was b ehug h t up f or fi nt ,l exam i nation yesterday, before Mr. Ald erman J.. 3. Saurus on suspicion o f b e i ng a party to stealing from the premises of Mr. Clark, a wholesale dealer in hoots and shoes, in Iloeier-lane, Smithfield, a portion of his stock in trade, value upwards of 1001. The hones was entered by three fellows early un Sunday morning, the ?fith ult., from an adjoin ing empty house, a communication being forced through the party wall in tho kitchen. It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner's coach wa s brought to Mr. Clark's door soon after five o'clock in the morning, at which hour the watchmen go off duty. ' A watchman, named Rica, had o b serv ed the prisoner a b out h a lf an ' hour , , nour previously urive up Snowhill, nearly to Ilosier-lane;and , i pe ,„ :i d sos fo l :ar t d v s n , ip ait i d iy l , oi t t i e irete loitered about : w ill there set down a very auspicious-looking man, who wonted t o takenell a'i,eianelian:iitillaiiln,'l,Bl,ll,ardroolirefett,ti4l:4l4l:3o:edeinv.laethrtiiilelsi Rice, afro' conversation between them the the lame man :thew::: that time standing nearly opposite Fleet-market, and after the again rn4de his ia„lB::draonfeew.aitii:ghetoesto: went off to the wateld wase t o deposit all the erobkrat of his authority, and from ,thence to his home. Ile however mentioned the Eireumatanees.to his brother watchmen, two of whom went viduntaOly towards the slut to reconnoitre, supposing th e coach, contained merely I NArli# alibied* for the pupils - of the hospital to practise Upon and they found the vehicle standing in Hosier -lanes and two men lifting a hamper to it. The litter, on perceiving the watchmen, walked towenis Smithfield, and beckon e d the coachman to follow them ; an d a t the end: of St. John's street, finding their pursuers close to their heels, the nil quickened their pece into a run, and the coachman whipped his horses into a gallop, at which pace he continued to drive -until ; at the end of Cromer-street, Gray's-inn-lane road, the watchmen gave up the chase. The two men disap peared in Cow-cross. On returning to the premises, the watch men •found the shop-door latched only, and alarmed Mr. Clark. The 'number on the prisoner's coach having been observed, he was traced and apprehended without difficulty in the course of the morning at his master's stables in Tothill-ffelds, when he admitted having taken away three hampers of goods from Hosier-lane ' and stated that the lame man hired 'Limon Holborn-bridge about half past four o'clock. A man rode inside the coach with the goods, which he left on the pavement near the Red Lion, at Paddington, in the charge of his fare, who was met at that place by two other parsons. Yesterday Mr. Harmer attended for the prisoner. No new evidence WAS offered, neither the thieves nor the property having been traced. Mr. Harmer expressed his surprise that the watchmen, with all their suspicions awakened, should have felt any delicacy about stopping and searching the coach. His client had - bean hired in the usual way, and paid Bs. for his job. He bad Ito suspicion of the fellows, because he was told the goods were going into the country by the Paddington Canal boats that morning, which was a probable representation. As to the conversation with the lame man, that related entirely as to what should be paid as his faro.—The prisoner was then Committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. .-- An alarm was excited about two o'clock yesterday in the neighbourhood of this office, by the circumstance of a beautiful infant, lint more than four mouths old, having been found lying on the foot pavement in Argyll place, nearly opposite to the door of this office, with very little clothing on it, and evidently deserted by some unna tural persons who had the charge of it. Scofield, the officer, who was one of the first who witnessed the discovery of the infant, hail it taken into the office, and at the same time learned from a person in the crowd that hail assembled on the MCA sion, that a man and woman had been seen'a few minutes be fore to turn quickly from the spot where the child' was found into Regent-street, the officer instantly pursued them with .all the haste he could, in the direction pointed out, towards the Regent's Quadrant, near which be observed a man and woman, apparently in a state of much agitation, turn suddenly into a public-house, and not doubting but they were the persons of whom ho was in search, he entered the public-house almost at their heels, and at once charged them with the desertion of the infant. They at first, however, positively denied if; but the state of tremor end agitation which they betrayed, convinced the officer that he was right, and he conveyed them to the office, when they were questioned by Sir G. Tarrant, the Magistrate, and they acknowledged that they not ,only had left the child where it was found, but also that it was their own offspring ; but gave as an explanation of their unnatural desertion of the poor child, that they,hail merely left it there out of a " lark,' and intended to return for it again. The Magistrate severely reprobated them for their unfeeling conduct, and in directing them to take charge of the infant again, advised them to be cautious how they practised such " larks" in future, or they•might get indicted by the parish. These un natural wretches, whose names we regret did not transpire, were then discharged, taking the poor infant with them. There can be no doubt their object was to desert the child, and leave it on the parish. MARYLEBONE.—Mary Ann 'Jerry was charged by her mistress, Mrs. Davidson, of 36, Berners•street; with stealing four sovereigns. Mrs. D. stated that at half-past seven o'clock yesterday morn ing she was counting some money in a parlour at the back of her shop (a baker's) and in leaving the parlour to serve a customer she left 28 sovereigns on the sofa, and two piles of 10 sovereigns each on the table; that while she was going' into the shop the prisoner came into the parlour from a side door with a tea-pot, and on her return to the parlour she missed four sovereigns from the sofa, and was certain no one could have entered but the girt She was very much alarmed and immediately informed her hus band, who, with herself, accused the girl with the theft, which she denied. They then sent fur an officer, who stated that he searched her box and the kitchen but could find nothing to crimi nate her. The girl appeared at the office ao frightened that no explanation could be obtained from her. The Magistrate ordered her to be detained till a more strk search had been made. UNION-HALL—The Vauxhall season haling commenced, the police stationed in the gardens under the euperintenthuice of Mr. Hall, the chief constable of this _office, have performed the ditties so efficiently henceforth under hie direction, that it is a rare thing now-a-days to hear of robberies in that attractive place 'of public amusement, notwithstanding the multitudes that frequent it on gala and other nights of peribrmanee.---: During the last season only one robbery of any consequence ec curred from its coun»encement until its termination ; and tide was committed by a man of highly respectable family, panted Klatch bull, possessing a polished address and gentlemanly deportment, who picked a gentleman's pocket of a pocket-book, containing Mo ney and bills to a considerable amount. By the vigilance of the police he was apprehended immediately after the robbery in the gardens, and subsequently tried and convicted of the offence. On j Monday night a lad, apparently about 16 years of age, dressed like a gentleman's son, entered the gardens, and was observed by the superintendent of the police, who, convinced that he was not come there to gratify his curiosity, but for the purpose of com mitting depredations, watched him narrowly, and saw hi m join a man In the Rotunda, with whom he walked and mingled in the company. , From their conduct while amongst the crowd, the superintendent placed his men in situations that it was impos sible for a thief to leave the gardens without discovery. The two suspected persons perceiving that they were watched, immediately I separated, and the elder one darted in amongst a vast concourse of people who were witnessing the ballet ; the other his companion, was apprehended en the spot, and taken to tile treasury, wheat on questioning him, it t urne d out th at hi s name was John Al' Grath, that his futher was a journeyman slater, residing in the neighbour hood of. Crown -street, Soho, and that he (the prisoner) WAS of no business. He wus subsequently searched, when a handsome watch, with chain and gold seals, were found in his peesesaion, of which he could give no satisfactory account : he was therefore &tained and brought up to the office yesterday morning. The above circumstances having been communicated to Mr. CHAMBERS, the Magistrate, by the chief constable, the prisoner in reply to the questions put to him, gave the following an swers :-." I didn't go to Vauxhall to do any body. The man that was with me in the gardens was my uncle; and as for the watch, chain, and seals, I will explain all about them another time." Mr. ll* Lt. said that the prisoner luul all the slang that was so generally used by thieves, and he had no doubt that it would turn out that he was an experienced one, although not known as such at this office. The Magistrate then desired that the bead constable* of each of the police-offices should be directed to atteud here on Thursday next, in order to identify the ptisoner, who was stated to be in the habit of constantly attending the Opere-house, fir the purpose of picking pockets. DIBDIN'S MONUMENT. At a Meeting of the Committee for conducting the subscriptitm for the monument to the memory of the late Chas. I)ibdin, held on Monday night at the } reemason's Tavern, it was unanimously resolved that a benefit be taken at one of the Royal Theatres, and that the sur plus fund, after paying for the monument, be given to the Widow. It is intended to select the evening's entertainment entirely from the works of Dihdin, mid the Quaker, the Waterman, and the Padlock, were mentioned ' as t h e most lik e l y to prove attractive.

This will be the first instance of a who' • ' a evenings en tertainment being I le-e cted from his works - since "his decease, and it is calculated that there will be an overflow, SUICIDE. Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken by Thomas Shelia, Esq. the Coroner, at the Crown and Anchor in Fleet-market, on the body. of Elisabeth Cress, who destroyed herself iu the follow ing shocking manner. Mrs. Ann Bevan, the wife of James Bevan, a tin-plate worker, residing at No. I, Bear-alley, Fleet-market, deposed that she knew: the deceased, who occupied the attics in the above house. She was a married woman, but her husband was abroad, and had not been at home for two years. Witness not having seen the de ceased the whole of the day of Sunday, considered that she wail indisposed, and in the evening she went up to her room, the door of which was locked inside, but the key was taken out. , She procured another key, and entered the room, when she found her boots placed in the middle of the room, and the deceased as if sitting in a chair by the bed side, apparently dead; she was much , alarmed, and ran down stairs and alarmed her husband, who wort up immediately, and discovered that she was suspended ~by her neck to the bed pest. Witness had Neu her the night before, when she came into her room for a light; she then seemed very low-spirited. Indeed, she always appeared depressed, and was fre quently shedding tsars about her husband's absence. Coroner—Now did she obtain her living ? Witness--She was • was a dress-maker, and had plenty of business. Coroner—Do you know where here husband is abroad ? Wit ness--I believe he is in .New South Wales. The beadle said, that her husband had been transported, and the deceased had petitioned the Secretary of State to be permit ted to go to him but the application bad been rejected, ss ap pears by a letter he found in her room that had been sent to liar by Mr. Capper, in answer to the application of the deceased to Mr. Peel. Mrs. Bevan said, that on the Saturday she seemed very de sponding, and said that all she wanted was to join her unhappy husband. Coroner—How old was she? Witness--About SS. Mr. Bevan, the husband of the lest witness, stated► that when his wife alarmed him, he run up into the deceased's room, and found her hanging by a rope, to the iron rod of the bedstead. She was quite dead and cold; witness cut ber4lown immediately, and Mr. Jones, a medical gentleman, was sent for, and promptly at landed, but nothing could be done, and Mr. Jones said ills hod been dead six or eight hours. Witness never had much conversation with her, but whenever he saw her she, always appeared low- spirited. - • , The medical gentleman who was ca ll ed in was examined,, an d stated that when he saw her she was quite dead, and had been 11° for many hours. Several jurymen, who knew the deceased, said, that she had been in expectation of being tent to her husband for a long timis and at length a denial arrived from Mr. Capper, who said, that Government would not send her to him unless she could *drams 211., which of course she could not do, and this seemed to prey . muds upon her mind, and had evidently been the cause abet coal— mhtingthe rash act. The jury returned a verdict of " Insinity." It was stated by the brother of the deceased, thst.she and her husband had been tried together, for robbing the house of AO* Keighley, in Harley-street, Cavendish-square, of jewellery end plate to the amount of two or three thousand pounds. Ilis un fortbmate sister had lived with Mrs. Keighley, as housekeeper , for 18 years, and was intrusted by that lady with the whole of her pro perty. Unfortunately she married the men who is now olio , . ported ;he was then a teacher of languages. He at length in duced her to plunder the house (whilst the old lady WAS be.il• - ridden up stairs) of all the valuable property, which they, W' gather with the man's mother, pledged at different pawobruk""* and with the money they absconded to -Brussels: however, they . were ultimately taken and tried, and the man was convicted and sentenced to death, but it was afterwards -commuted to transpet tation for life. His sister was acquitted, and had never h" W right in her mind since. .)
